Lupe Fiasco

He is great rapper who can blend almost all the genres together. He has an amazing talent of bringing the types of genres together to make a song that means something to everyone. In the song, The Show Goes On, the one linked to the title, is a rap about how maybe African Americans were once slaves, but it's time to move on. You can't let that hold up your show just because of one thing in the past. He talks about how even the ghetto kids have the same chances as long as they keep going. If you start to do drugs and crimes, your show has stopped. He raps about how he was that kid who was in the ghetto looking for a way out. He never gave up, and now he is rapping about why you shouldn't. Some examples of his song blending skills are: Solar Midnight (Rock and Rap), Paris, Tokyo (Rap and R&B), Hip Hop Saved My Life (Hip Hop and Rap). In all of his raps, he sort of uses hip hop and R&B, just more so in some then others. One rap that everyone should listen to is I'm Beamin. He talks about how it doesn't matter if you are a nerd or a gangster, we all should be intelligent and do right things. I will post the lyrics to the song in a later post so you can read what he wants us all to know.
